Films for a five year old- not animated

He loves Paddington 1 and 2, Mary Poppins 1 and 2.

Any ideas similar to this? He's not bothered by Bedknobs and Broomsticks or some of those older films.

Trying to get an hours peace to do some work next to him!

My Popper's Penguins is really good!

Haven't RTFT, but here are our other favourites (sorry if they've already been listed)

Bedknobs and Broomsticks
Peter's Dragon (the old one!)
Blackbeard's Ghost

Probably strictly animated, but anyway...
Boxtrolls
The Wes Anderson stop motion films - Isle of Dogs and Fantastic Mr Fox

High school Musical is one I tried with my child. She was too bored to even finish it. I have to say it's a lot more boring than I remember too

Homeward bound - my 6 year old loves it.

Mine's a bit dog obsessed so some of her faves are:
Beethoven
Hotel for Dogs
Firehouse Dog
A Dog's Journey (I cried buckets but she watches it on repeat!)

She's also watched Christmas Chronicles multiple times year round, and loves Doolittle, Dora the Explorer, Sonic the Hedgehog and the first couple of Harry Potters.

My 3 year old loves musicals. Big favourites are Joseph and the greatest showman.
